As much as I hate to do it, I manage to extract myself from her a little while later. I would love to fall asleep with her like that, and I’m very much looking forward to doing it later on, but I need to go check on Jessie and Dribbler.

I go into the bathroom, relieve myself and then get cleaned up before getting dressed.

I grab one of the spare blankets and cover her with it. She stirs a bit but doesn’t wake. I smile at her when I kiss her forehead.

When I leave, I turn off the light. There’s no windows in here, so it’s pretty dark. I made sure to plug in the little lamp in the bathroom so she would be able to see if she wakes.

I go down into the galley then down into the wet room. Out on deck, they have about six boards pulled up and they’re working on the lines. “Hey guys,” I say, lighting up. “Diem stop by yet?”

“Nope, not yet,” Dribbler says. “Everything alright in there?” He points to the house with his wrench.

Perfect. “Yeah, it’s good. She’s sleeping.”

“Ahh, wear her out, did ya?” Jessie chuckles.

“Shut it, ass.” They both bust out laughing. I crouch down, looking at the lines. “How’s it going?”

“Fine. We need to run in for a couple parts.” He hands me something, and I look at it, it’s completely rusted through. “We don’t have any on board. We also need to put an order in for more fluid. There was a leak,”—Dribbler points to a patch of tubing—“we didn’t know about until we started working on it. It could be fresh, but we have less fluid on board than I’m comfortable with.”

“Understood.”

“We’re going to do a couple things in the engine room, too. Just to make sure we’ve got what we need,” Dribbler adds.

“We’ve got time. I’d rather be safe than sorry,” I tell them both. “Let me know what you need from me.”

“When do you want to fuel her?” Jessie asks.

“Tomorrow. I’m assuming parts and stuff will come tomorrow.”

“Or Tuesday, depends. I noticed a few more boats coming in, and I know there’s two in major repair, so…” Dribbler pauses, doing something to the line. “We’re not in a hurry, I’m assuming?” He cocks an eyebrow at me.

I blow the smoke from my last drag out. “No, definitely not that.”

He laughs, “Then I’ll let them know. The smaller parts we’ll bring back with us so we can finish the repairs. I don’t want to be stuck at the dock fixin’ shit when the fluid arrives.”

I take another drag. “Nope, me either.” Though, I really wouldn’t mind. But I keep that to myself.

Dribbler looks me square in the eye. “You know we can get someone else up here. I can take her back to Seattle.” The implication of his statement is there. Dribbler is a man who likes to get to the point.

I take a long drag and slowly blow it out. The prospect is tempting, to say the least, but I’m also a man of my commitments.
